A man buys a second-hand violin online. Inside the violin he finds two objects, and, on a surprisingly emotional journey, goes in search of their meanings. Bruno Thys mixes fiction and reality in a plot permeated with suspense, in which the central character is life itself, its trials, silences, pains, excitement, and successes, where the many layers and secrets of the instigating and challenging story are gradually unveiled. ‘The Song of the Violin’ is a dense work set in present-day Rio de Janeiro and Second World War Europe which flows with the beauty and delicacy of a violin solo.
